I don't think so, i use lancers with longer lances. But some museum lancer may do the job, considering lightly short pikes. _________________ "Quand on a pas de technique, faut y aller à la zob"

Donnington have some "new era" Arabs out very soon - they have open hands for wire spears or pikes so they could easily work even if there aren't any specific figures as these guys _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

My order from Legio Heroica arrived some 9 days after I placed the order. Great delivery time from Italy to West Virginia. The figures were very clean. Only 1 figure of around 150 had any flash at all and it was a very, very small amount between a horse's legs. The molding was sharp with deep cuts making painting very easy even for my elderly eyes. The poses were utilitarian. The detail was good - neither too little nor too
much. The castings were sturdy. My only criticism lies in my dislike of gluing spears and shields to figures.
All in all, I highly recommend Legio Heroica. |

Legio Heroica and Museum Miniatures both have figures that are suitable for 15 mm Fatimid saririya pikemen. The Legio Heroica are slightly larger and have glue on shields and spears. Both have round or almond shaped shields or no shields. Both are very, very clean castings. The details on both are very clear although the Legio Heroica figures details are cut much more crisply. Price is roughly equivalent. Legio Heroica had far better service. Both my orders from Legio Heroica were painted before my first order from Museum Miniatures arrived. Giuseppe, the owner and sculptor at Legio Heroica, was extremely helpful and very accommodating. He seemed to truly appreciate my business.
I feel comfortable in recommending both lines. I intend to use the Legio Heroica figures at my house with the Museum Miniature figures relegated to away games.
I intend to patronize Legio Heroica whenever possible. I have
my eye on their Burgundian figures. |

The Burgundians and Swiss arrived from Legio Heroica in Italy today. The figures are the best medieval I have ever purchased. even my painting job will be beautiful. Packing was secure. Figures were clean with little or no flash. Giuseppe even included a gift. Definitely first rate service and wonderful figures |

I agree, Legio Heroica would be my go-to manufacturer if they were not so expensive. As it is, I have two armies that feature their figs (Dynastic Bedouins and Mongols). _________________ Tabletop miniatures are the only completely honorable form of warfare ever invented. |
